June Challenge!

[analise010]

This month we have two challenges for you: The theme challenge 'Exploration' (Please include the tag challenge: exploration when you post.) and the shape challenge ‘2x2 square' (tag challenge: 2x2 square). You can pick the challenge you prefer or do both if you're feeling ambitious. Once you’ve posted the podfic required to fulfill the monthly challenge, please comment here to let us know you’ve completed the challenge.

Theme Challenges:
Theme challenges have to do with fic choice. Since this month's challenge is 'Exploration' your story has to be related to that theme one way or another. If you complete 1 theme challenge you’ll get a cheat.

Shape Challenges:
Shape challenges require that you complete a specific shape of squares on your card. If you complete a shape challenge by the deadline, you’ll win a cheat. If your card already has the shape formation that fits the monthly challenge before the challenge starts, you can only count that challenge as completed if you fill at least one square on your card within the challenge time period. So if you already have a diagonal before the challenge starts, you don’t have to get a whole new set of 3 squares in the shape of a diagonal. You do however have to complete at least one square this month for it to count.

What are Cheats?
Cheats are rewards that allow participants to manipulate their cards so that they can be finished more easily.
There are 2 kinds of cheats: shifting squares and swapping out squares.
- Shifting squares allows participants to swap locations of two squares on their card.
- Swapping out cheats allow you to discard one of your prompts entirely from your card and replace it with a prompt of your choosing from the Prompt List.

Filling both Theme and Shape Challenge this month!

Exploration: blinded by the sun
Shape Challenge: I had a previously existing 2x2 square on my card. Filled the requisite 1 square with Magic.

...you can do that? You get a cheat, I guess.

It's a good thing one of us knows the rules. *blows kisses*

I thought the new square had to contribute to the shape! Like, you'd have had to fill one of the ones touching the 2x2. (Otherwise, I totally would have filled whatever square for last months challenge.)

** You get two cheats! One per challenge. :)

[fire_juggler]

LOL.

If your card already has the shape formation that fits the monthly challenge before the challenge starts, you can only count that challenge as completed if you fill at least one square on your card within the challenge time period.

YOU SHOULD HAVE CLAIMED ALL THE CHEATS!

Note: we make it really easy to get cheats. We might want to change that next year. :)

Eh, I'm cool with it as is. I'm trying to get a blackout and some of these squares need to go. (But if you want to change things, I'm down.)

[fire_juggler]

ME TOO! I'm swapping out squares like a madwoman. THIS IS THE YEAR I WILL GET A BLACKOUT. BLACKOUT OR BUST!
